Erayle (Air – Rul) means… Freedom is a necessity!

HOUSTON- She has a strong sense of independence; desire to excel and to lead. “Dream the Impossible Dream” is her deepest motivation that keeps pushing her to excellence, not only that; Erayle’s soul is combined with spiritual wisdom and artistic vision!

Erayle is a native Houstonian and this extraordinary talent is a sophomore at the High School of the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA). Erayle aspires to be a well-known Opera Singer.

HSPVA has provided Erayle with a great start to develop her skills to become a house-hold name. She participated in a Black History production at HSPVA called the “Dream Girls”. While participating in that show, she became a better performer and singer. She was asked to be a part of International Presentation of Performers (IPOP!). She enjoyed that experience and look forward to joining their team in the future. Erayle has also won the “Director’s Choice” award at the American Festival for the Arts (AFA). Erayle received two scholarships from AFA, and she looks forward to a continuous relationship, which made her realize how much she enjoys singing.

Erayle has had many opportunities to become who she is today, and she appreciates them all. For example: In 2012, Erayle received a gold medal in “Solo and Ensemble”. She is very grateful for her talent and experience. Just recently; Erayle performed a show as Belle in “Belle of the Ball” with the Houston Symphony at Jones Hall. This performance has further confirmed for her, that she will continue to strive to become an Opera Singer.

Finally, this year, Erayle Amacker has become a force to be reckoned with in the Academic, Cultural, Technological, and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) competition of NAACP, where she will represent Houston at the Nationals, in Las Vegas this summer in Vocal – Classical art area. Erayle is highly motivated by these words that she always says, “Everything I sing, everything I say and everything I do is to glorify the Lord up above.” No doubt, this unparalleled star will be seen again!
